Players begin on a known island before sailing towards two unexplored regions, revealing new hexes and earning rewards as they chart the unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShips do more than explore. They transport settlers, crews, fish and spice sacks between distant locations. Settler ships allow players to establish their first settlements in newly discovered areas, opening the way for further roads, settlements and voyages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of cities, this expansion introduces harbor settlements. These coastal centres provide space for loading and unloading game pieces and are worth two victory points. Gold also becomes an important resource, offering compensation when a production roll gives you no resources and allowing you to obtain resources from the supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive scenarios introduce the new rules gradually. Begin with a voyage of discovery in Land Ho!, then face pirate lairs, collect fish for the Council of Catan and trade with villages on the spice islands.
